India today reacted strongly to British Parliament debating on the issue of Jammu and Kashmir, saying there is no room for a third party role in the matter.

Noting that the government was aware of the development, External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup said, "Our position on the issue of Jammu and Kashmir is very clear that all issues between India and Pakistan are to be resolved bilaterally and peacefully in accordance with Simla Agreement and Lahore Declaration.

"There is no room for third party."

UK's House of Commons debated on J&K issue which was proposed by the Backbench Business Committee following an application from British MP David Nuttall.

During the debate, British MPs cautioned against "escalation" of violence in the region.
